Before Fallen Night
***********************
Entranced by blooms
and nectar’s delight
flying along day’s path
before fallen night
~
~
Driven by design
providing for others
as the queen produces
more sisters and brothers
~
~
Creation’s a marvel
full of mysteries and Light
revealing a Designer
with eternal insight
~
~
I can’t help but ponder
his wonderful mind
and the gifts of his grace
so readily mine
~
~
He’s given us warning
to heed nature’s word
as it speaks of its Maker
for all will have heard.

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities –
~
~
his eternal power and divine nature –
~
~
have been clearly seen,
~
~
being understood from what has been made,
~
~
so that men are without excuse.
Romans 1:20
~
~
Nature has a lot to say…
if I stand still enough to listen.
Creation converses about the Creator.
